Design Challenge
The book took 8 years to compile, during which time, numerous documents were checked, charts were drawn, and words were elaborated.
Research
This book begins with the development of inheritance and innovation of Chinese character design, and through research and analysis, excavates the thinking and methods behind the artistic aesthetics and information transmission function of Chinese characters. The scope of research will be expanded to all kinds of character forms closely related to the history of the whole Chinese character culture circle, and Chinese characters are independent from pure fine arts or philology, forming a relatively independent research system under the dimension of "design science".
Inspiration
Chinese characters are not only important communication carriers of Chinese culture, but also are important somponents of Chinese culture. For thousands of years, Chinese characters have been widely spread in various ethnic regions and neighboring countries and regions, exerting a profound influence on cultural development.Through research and analysis, this book explores the thinking and methods behind the artistic aesthetics and information communication function of Chinese characters.
